The camera is with the gigantic wide-angle fisheye lens in the centre of a funky shape and two tori which are all partly reflecting and partly transparent with a refractive index of 0.5. No light, just the HDRI looking into the shape and is reflected. Max. ray depth 10, TIR 4.

Akmerlow: Both look good, but I prefer the texture on the second one. I also started working along to David’s tutorials (again). I have to warn against the grass from volumetric texture tutorial. I added some volumetric clouds to and now, even in a much smaller size than I normally use, Bryce considers it needs ten days to finish rendering. Of course, I should have optimised lightning (no IBL to fill shadows), but where is the fun in that? Anyway, I simple let it crunch along when I am not doing other things.

Horo: Still no 3D-glasses. Maybe ask them for my birthday. But the terrain in normal render also looks very wonderful. I prefer the less hazy one, though there certainly is some nice perspective effect in the hazy one. And I hope you don’t mind that I get dizzy when looking at your weird abstract?

Mermaid. Very nice abstract, beautyfully rendered. Makes me think of the song “I love the sound of breaking glass”????

Jay: Very good looking boat. Very dangerous sailing in the first render. And great mood and even better water in the second one.

mermaid - thanks. Cool render but the cow is too small, needs to be at lest double, maybe even triple the size. But, of course, if it's a dwarf cow, than it's fine. Kudos for the use of soft shadows, that looks really good.

I played with Hubert’s free files which he shared with us a while ago. An abstract lover myself, these files are awesome. I re-rendered two of this files, moving the camera, changing the sky and materials. Thanks Hubert

Mermaid: Nice combination of background and calf. Poor calf, that there is no mother near. Your hubism-abstracts are really wonderful.

Navim: Excellent render, great mysterious mood.

Horo: Very nice abstract experiments too.

I also made an abstract. A few green coils in a partly reflective partly transparent cube in a partly reflective, partly transparent sphere. Some lights and that's it. Oh, one of the lights is a sunset-IBL.
